Github user marmbrus commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/1085#issuecomment-46111249 My guess on the test failures is that we are starting up two spark contexts inside of the same JVM, which is not allowed. I had the same problems with the first PR for the Java API, which is why that test is marked ignore. If you can figure it out that would be great. However, I think fixing the idempotence bug for Java DDL commands is important enough to commit this without the additional tests running.
